This weeks readings have been a detailed and precise clarification of different types of privileges. All readings were wonderfully written to give some insight on privileges I know I will never be able to experience. The small reading of ‘ When privilege and oppression intersect ‘ gave some insight on how people possess multiple different identities that can shape their societal and cultural experience and how that would shape and form the privilege they will experience in their life. The reading does a fantastic job on explaining how intersectionality shows how we are all both privileged and face disadvantages at the same time and how those two different things can interact with each other on the daily basis and also be a conflict at the same time. In the reading “Oppression” by Marilyn Frye explains what oppression really is and not only the meaning behind it but also how it can affect anyone. However it does gives some insight on how when women explain how we are oppressed men tend to quickly dismiss what we are saying with explaining how they are oppressed instead of just listening. They don’t realize that them not listening to us in a way is also oppressive. Reading this has supported some of my ideas I already had beforehand of privilege of how many groups within our society might be oppressed in someways but how men as a whole are not oppressed for just simply being men like how women are. In the last reading of “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” written by Peggy McIntosh does a great job of explaining white privilege from a white persons perspective. This does a great job of teaching privilege first hand , a privilege I would never experience so reading this does open my eyes to a lot of things that I can relate to back to my personal life. Also explaining how some privileges are earned while others aren’t can play a big part in power.
